And may you benefit from it. A listener says: Our father is advanced in age and has been afflicted with illnesses, including Alzheimer's. He forgets many things and repeats some of his words to us more than once. Is prayer obligatory on him in his condition, or is he excused? May Allah bless you.

Remind him, and if you remind him of it and he is old and has an inability or lack of attention, he is excused. But you should remind him and persist in reminding him. Yes.
